Prior to starting medication, all my dreams were nightmares.
Now, either I don't dream, don't dream as much, or I don't remember the dreams I do have.
Sometimes, upon waking, I have a reocurring temporary sensation of guilt and shame because I forgotten that I still have a horse and have forgotten to feed her or call the ferrier for 10 years. I must have been dreaming this, but can never remember the dream.
Anyway the guilt and shame is based on reality, but exagerated drastically. I lost interest in my horse near the end of our relationship together. I abandonned her emotionally, not with her physical care.
But now I have difficulty distinguishing between reality and the powerful forces of the guilt and shame that can overwhelm me at times.
So my questions are:
How do you get rid of this type of reoccuring dream?
I used to talk about it with my psychiatrist, which helped. But now it's coming back again.
What disorder is something like this associated with?
